Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Needed Aero Carbon Fork with 1" steerer for integrated headset.

Now that I'm the "proud" owner on an unbadged circa 2006 Felt TT frame. The next challenge is finding a fork. Given I paid $210 for the frame, I don't want to spend an arm and a leg for the fork.

Most all the options I've found so far have 1 1/8" steerers or are prohibitively expensive.

Any suggestions?

PBK has nothing in stock for 1" forks.

how about a winwood RT-10?
not aero, but at least it's cheap.

thanks. The Find is pretty cool.

Unfortunately 1 is also contained in 1 1/8, so lots of 1 1/8 steerers come up.

^ Thanks. I definitely think that would be my fork of choice, but hard to justify putting a $400 fork on a $210 frame.
